UAB to lose three to academics

UAB's attempt to make Conference USA a two-bid league is about to take a hit because Jeremy Mayfield, Terrence Roderick and Ed Berrios will be ineligible for the second semester, a source close to the situation told CBSSports.com on Tuesday.

The source said all three are academic casualties.

Roderick (21.8 minutes per game) and Berrios (12.5 minutes per game) were key reserves, and Mayfield was supposed to join the team this month. In another development, FoxSports.com is reporting that Armon Bassett -- a former Indiana player who enrolled at UAB and was supposed to join the Blazers for the 2009-10 season -- is leaving school, meaning Mike Davis won't have the talented and troubled guard next season, as planned.

UAB now has six scholarship players available for the rest of the season.

The Blazers (5-3) play Jacksonville State on Wednesday.

The question here is whether or not this will have any effect on Mike Davis's job, and if so, what would happen with DeMarcus Cousins who will only play wherever Mike Davis is at.
